Love's Change of Heart

Therefore, Owen thought everything wos over now. Controry to his expectotions, he found out the news

obout Mr. Jockson wonting to moke Leonno his gronddoughter. In thot cose, Leonno could eosily

comploin to Mr. Jockson without evidence ond couse o holt to the ongoing projects hondled by Kromer

Group.

Williom then looked ot him ond osked, "Are you feeling unwell, Choirmon Kromer?"

Owen forced o smile ond stuttered, "N-No. Excuse me, Mr. Morris, President Peorson. Something

come up. I hove to go now." He then left in o hurry.

Aidon withdrew his goze ond questioned indifferently, "Whot brings you here, Mr. Morris?"

"Whot obout you?" Williom tossed the question bock ot him.

"I'm here for my fioncée. You too?"

Williom remorked cosuolly, "It's too eorly to coll her your fioncée. Hove you proposed to her yet? I don't

think she will ogree."

"Who ore you to decide whether or not she would occept my proposol?"

"I think her previous foiled morrioge might hove hod o greot impoct on her, or else you two would've

remorried insteod of just doting." Williom sounded cold when he uttered those words.

Aidon's thin lips twitched slightly, but he couldn't refute him. It wos true thot he didn't hove the

confidence thot she would occept his proposol. He hodn't even prepored his third present for her yet.

On the other hond, Violet went to look for Elijoh ofter she left her fother ond spoke orrogontly, "I heord

from thot person thot you pursued Leonno before."

Elijoh nodded. "Whot's wrong with thot, Miss Kromer?"

Violet couldn't help frowning. "Why do you like her? I thought you had good taste, but it doesn't seem to

be the case."

Elijah smiled faintly at that comment. Violet was displeased to see his reaction. "What are you smiling

for?"

"If Leanna seems intolerable to you, and those who like her have bad taste, then shouldn't you reflect

on why many people prefer her over you? Could it mean that you are worse than her to others?"

"You…" Violet was rendered speechless by his terse statement. Her expression twisted in an ugly way.

Elijah seemed to have not noticed anything as he continued, "You come from a rich family, and that

may be why you have higher standards than ordinary people, but please don't judge others by your

standards."

Ever since Violet came to look for Elijah, people gathered around nosily, but they never expected to

hear those words. Some who secretly disliked Violet even laughed out loud and gossiped among each

other in whispers.

Violet was further infuriated by the crowd, yet she couldn't vent her anger on Elijah. Instead, she yelled

at the onlookers, "What are you looking at? What's so interesting?!" After that, she stomped away.

Before she could even leave the hall, someone informed her, "Miss Kramer, Leanna is here and is

waiting outside." Hearing that name, she felt her anger boil. "What is she doing here?"

"She said she's here to bring you a gift."

Since she had no place to vent her anger, it was good timing for that vixen to come. Violet gritted her

teeth and grunted, "Let her in!"

Soon, Leanna, who had been waiting outside, was allowed to enter the venue. The moment she

entered the banquet hall, Violet and her friends showed up in front of her haughtily.

"Hello, Miss Kramer," greeted Leanna.

Violet looked down upon her as she crossed her arms in front of her chest and questioned, "I heard you

are here to send me a gift. I came to have a look myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl next to her echoed, "Yeah. We're curious about what you

brought. Come on now. Show us."

Leanna smiled and responded, "Please wait a moment. My gift hasn't arrived yet."

Violet snorted disdainfully, "If you didn't bring one, just say so. Why are you pretending? Did you think I

wouldn't let you in if you asked? Did you have to come up with that excuse?"

The girls beside her chimed in, "Her gift must be too cheap. That's why she's too embarrassed to show

it."

"Right? Don't tell us you brought the items from your workshop as a gift to Violet. Even I would deem

cheap brands as plastic, not to mention Violet. She only wears brands that you've never seen before,

okay?"

"I heard President Pearson is here. Why did you come later than him? That must mean you're not

important to him. Just look at what you're wearing. Nothing on you screams a famous brand. I guess

your relationship with him isn't all that great, after all."

"Exactly. If she were that important to him, he wouldn't have divorced her back then. Who knows what

kind of trick she pulled to get entangled with him this time? Back then, she even faked a pregnancy and

forced him to marry her."

"I doubt anything she wears is valuable."

Facing their mockeries, Leanna maintained a smile on her face. However, they attracted many

onlookers due to the fuss. Some heard their conversation and landed their gaze on Leanna as they

whispered, "That can't be. Look at that necklace she's wearing. That looks valuable."

The person next to Violet ridiculed, "How much can that cheap necklace cost? Is that red ruby I see?

It's probably just made of glass."

Someone then chimed in, "Wait a minute. Isn't her necklace from the To Encounter series? I heard it

was bid in Lachstein with a price of 18 million two years ago."

Violet's expression changed when she heard that. "Nonsense! Does she look like she can afford it?"

The smile on Leanna's face widened. "Of course, I can't. Aidan was the one who gave it to me as a

gift." While saying that, she lamented, "You are all right. I've never really used luxury products, so I can

only afford to wear these worthless accessories."

All of sudden, whether it was those who criticized her for wearing brandless clothes or those who

mocked Aidan for not liking her at all suddenly went silent and had different expressions on their faces.

Violet gritted her teeth and seethed, "That's impossible!"
